A colorful flyer with a textured background promoting an event titled βPaint and Protest for Trans Care.β The text reads: βSaturday, 11/1, @12pm - 1340 Boylston St. - @ProtectTransFutures.β It invites people to join for an afternoon of sign making, chalk art, and hot chocolate to show support for gender-affirming care at Fenway Health. It states the protest welcomes community members of all ages and encourages bringing friends, kids, and neighbors. It also mentions that those unable to attend can donate art supplies by contacting @ProtectTransFutures on Instagram. At the bottom, bold text reads: βOUR GOAL: Bring the Boston community together to show Fenway Health that we wonβt turn our backs on trans youth.
